Leif's 'The Hall of the Rainbow Mage' [A] (D&D 3.5 OOC)

Really?... I thought when 3.5 came out they had improved the monks to even more badass'ness?.... Where are their weak points if I may ask?... I'm not usually a monk fan but inquiring minds want to know heh....

Maybe if someone was really skilled at optimizing one? In my opinion they usually take too much damage, and they don't cause enough damge.

Monks suffer severely from MAD.

Wisdom for AC and uses of stunning stuff, Dex for AC any any ranged stuff(as well as bonuses to reflex saves), Strength for damage and accuracy, and con for if they get hit.

Pretty much they need to dump int(which means low skills), and charisma(which means no one likes them). And then they still have trouble keeping up with the epic weapons and the like as players level up... as well as issues when caught flatfooted.

With that said, though...I'm finding the idea of a Monk/Kensai oddly appealing.

Monks are good flavor. Just very hard to pull off mechanically without lots of trinkets and a higher point buy starting score.

Edit:
Most of my Warlock is up now. Just need to allocate 2 feats and decide on my invocations.

I thought for sure you'd have your feats all picked by now!

May I suggest Weapon Focus: Ray if you don't have it already.... or seeing as you're going melee-lock... maybe empower spell like ability....

Empower Spell-like came to mind. As did Quicken. I'm not sure how they work though. Ray, I wasn't sure if Eldritch Blast would count.

Am I required to choose an invocation beforehand when selecting the ability?

Rhun: I was busy doing skills and inventory... and my mom kicked me off my computer for about 3 hours to watch House. Because House is awesome enough to pull me away from numbercrunching for awhile. I've still got 315 gold I don't know what to do with, lol.

I'm a big House fan...no so much for the "medical mystery" of the show, but just to see what kind of great insults House is going to throw out next. My friends and I have actually turned it into a drinking game.

My mother hates House(the guy, she likes everyone else on the show); but I find him quite entertaining.

I also realized I need to choose which energy resistances I want, as well as my invocations.
